Dr. Woodard's murder has little emotional resonance for me--probably because the death scenes were played out by Peter Turgeon instead of Robert Gerringer: the second and best Dr. Woodard.

I guess I stand corrected

Upon closer examination, I realized that this thread actually calls for the two most disturbing DS moments. So let me add to my original remarks:

(1) Amanda Harris
(2) Olivia Corey

And Sheenasma will back me up on this.

The first most disturbing event on Dark Shadows was when Vicki killed Noah Gifford, the second one was the under developed character of Harry Johnson and his no explanation departure.  ?!?

ROFL!!!

If you want to read a great story about Edith, check out Luciaphil's "The Education of Judith Collins."  What she has completed is posted to ShadowsAfterDark on YahooGroups.

The story is superbly written and in addition to creating a really plausible background that explains why Judith was the way she was, it offers some implied solutions to the Edith paradox.  

Luciaphil's ongoing story is an all-time favorite of mine-- really excellent!  In addition to the SAD e-group, it's also available online on one of the SciFi DS boards (Creative, #25):

Oh, man -- you are so right about Robert Gerringer being the BEST Dr. Woodard.  You know, I hadn't seen that scene in quite awhile, and for some reason I kept thinking that it WAS Robert Gerringer's Dr. Woodard who got killed....so I watched the tape with the Peter Turgeon episodes, and I thought he was so obnoxious that instead of being particularly put off by Julia's turn toward the dark side, I found myself yelling, "Yes! Kill him!  Kill him!!!!"

These are all truly horrific moments but the one I find most disturbing perhaps even more than the murder of Dr. Woodard is Barnabas's idiotic confession to Julia in 1840 that Angelique was his only true love.. .egads!  

Okay. .think it, feel it but don't tell THIS PARTICULAR woman another stupid tale of your lost loves. . .she's just about HAD it with you . ..I know when Julia went back to 1971 she finally left his *ss. . . or went on some huge hedonistic romp in Europe.

I vote for Front.  Either Morgan used a different tailor than his brothers, or, well...

2)  The totally unnecessary and ludicrous revelation during the Leviathan storyline that Vickie Winters had been killed in 1796.  Jeb Hawkes wasn't even in human form before the succession of little brats grew up to be him, so how the heck was he around in that form back in the 1700's??  Plus, Vickie hadn't even been on the show in years!  Why throw in such a gratuitious and illogical death for a character that had been such a cornerstone of the show's earlier storylines?  Personally, I like to pretend this episode never really happened, along with the rest of the Leviathan storyline.

Im with you on that one!  This made absolutely no sense at all to me. It was nice to know that Vicky was at least happy when she left with Jeff, so why drudge up something that totally makes no sense at all? If they wanted to bring Peter Bradford back on the show that much, why not just have him come back as another character?


Also didn't like how Ben Stokes was killed off when they went back to the past again.  As Prof.Stokes had mentioned in her post, it was great to hear that Ben was finally rewarded for his loyalty to the Collins family and had lived a long & peaceful life. Then to go back in the past and see him die so horribly just put a damper on everything. It's like the writers didn't want to see anyone having a happy ending on the show.

Another big disappointment was when Eve suddenly decides that she's in love with Jeff Clark/Peter Bradford. To have such a strong woman throwing herself all over him just didn't make much sense to me.  Of all the guys on the show, they had to pick him? These two were so mismatched it wasn't funny.
